Traditional/digital art tips
I was asked to post this, credit to my former art teacher Lisa Guckleberg, for teaching me these things.
1: always consider beforehand what you want out of one art piece or your overall style; expression (abstract), realistic (detailed art) , or smooth (art being soft on the eyes).
2. Observe. Use references. Pay attention to the detail you see. The brain needs visual cues.
3. Draw what you see.
4: Use The Principles of Art :
Balance, Variety, Emphasis, Proportion, Movement, Rhythm, Composition, and Contrast.
Even a little bit of each principle is helpful, and the need for every principle will very with media, personality, and desire of each artist.
5: practice, focus on each of the principles that are primary to what you want to see in your art, separately, or by using two or more principles in each until you are satisfied.
6. Don’t be afraid to experiment, especially with smooth art. It’s ok borrow a couple things from other people’s art. Don’t copy another person’s whole style, though.
7. PRACTICE K!?
